Exhibitions 2025
Roll up, roll up! In 2025, we opened the exhibition 'At the fairground!'.
At the fairground!
The fair is a place for wonder and entertainment. It has been accompanied by machines and music for a long time now! In this summer exhibition, visitors got a taste of the fairground atmosphere. From fairground organs to a cabinet of curiosities, and from a miniature fairground to carousel animals: it was all on display in At the Fairground! A summer full of music & magic.
The ultimate fairground organ
Scattered throughout the museum you will find all kinds of fairground instruments, pictures and objects. As a showpiece, the Double Ruth, a grand fairground organ. This ultimate fairground organ ended up in the collection of Museum Speelklok in 1957, where it now shines on the stage. besides merry fairground music, it can play complete operas and other classical music. Fairground enthusiasts could visit the museum café for traditional fairground sweets. Upon entry this summer, visitors received a voucher for an ice cream from the Mijs IJs ice cream van.
Special fairground weekend
During the special fairground weekend in August, the museum was even more focused on the fair, with extra activities for young and old. Visitors could enjoy a free ride on the mini carousel, join a festive fairground-themed guided tour, and grab a sweet deal in the museum café.
